For Canon-supplied ICC profiles, what do Standard, High and Highest in the profile name mean?
Note: According to one poster, the Canon-supplied ICC profiles are ONLY for the 8 bit operating system level driver and should not be used with the 16 bit plugin. This is also true for almost all of the third party paper generic profiles, with the exception of Crane Museo Silver Rag and profiles created by Booksmart Studio for some Innova and Hahnemuhle papers. If you want to use profiles with the 16 bit plugin, they will have to be custom profiles for most papers.
Standard - 1200 X 1200 dpi, 6 pass
High - 2400 X 1200 dpi, 8 pass
Highest - 2400 X 1200 dpi, 16 pass
Recommendation
For optimal quality with Canon-supplied profiles, use ICC profile with "Highest" in the name. Use corresponding printer output resolution and number of passes as described above. For ultimate quality, use only the 16 bit Photoshop plugin with custom profiles--Canon does not currently supply generic profiles for the 16 bit plugin.
